In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Patch by Hsiangkai Wang.
llvm-svn: 331841
DIImportedEntity has a line number, but not a file field. To determine
the decl_line/decl_file we combine the line number from the
DIImportedEntity with the file from the DIImportedEntity's scope. This
does not work correctly when the parent scope is a DINamespace or a
DIModule, both of which do not have a source file.
This patch adds a file field to DIImportedEntity to unambiguously
identify the source location of the using/import declaration. Most
testcase updates are mechanical, the interesting one is the removal of
the FIXME in test/DebugInfo/Generic/namespace.ll.
This fixes PR33822. See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33822

Fixes the issue highlighted in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2014-June/037500.html.
The DW_AT_decl_file and DW_AT_decl_line attributes on namespaces can
prevent LLVM from uniquing types that are in the same namespace. They
also don't carry any meaningful information.

Currently each Function points to a DISubprogram and DISubprogram has a
scope field. For member functions the scope is a DICompositeType. DIScopes
point to the DICompileUnit to facilitate type uniquing.
Distinct DISubprograms (with isDefinition: true) are not part of the type
hierarchy and cannot be uniqued. This change removes the subprograms
list from DICompileUnit and instead adds a pointer to the owning compile
unit to distinct DISubprograms. This would make it easy for ThinLTO to
strip unneeded DISubprograms and their transitively referenced debug info.
Motivation
----------
Materializing DISubprograms is currently the most expensive operation when
doing a ThinLTO build of clang.
We want the DISubprogram to be stored in a separate Bitcode block (or the
same block as the function body) so we can avoid having to expensively
deserialize all DISubprograms together with the global metadata. If a
function has been inlined into another subprogram we need to store a
reference the block containing the inlined subprogram.
Attached to https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27284 is a python script
that updates LLVM IR testcases to the new format.

Follow-up to r257000: DIImportedEntity can reach a DISubprogram via
its entity, but also via its scope. Handle the latter case as well.

llvm-svn: 257019
It is illegal to have a null entity in a DIImportedEntity, so
we must link in a DISubprogram metadata node referenced by one,
even if the associated function is not linked in or inlined anywhere.
